TMJ Dysfunction

Is Your TMJ Disorder Causing Orthopedic Pain?

TMJ related orthopedic dysfunction refers to a condition involving the temporomandibular joint and the surrounding structures, which can lead to various musculoskeletal problems. The temporomandibular joint connects your jawbone to your skull and allows you to open and close your mouth, chew, speak, and perform other essential functions. When this joint and the surrounding muscles, ligaments, and bones experience dysfunction, it can result in a range of symptoms and orthopedic issues.
